Parkopedia and ThinxNet have partnered through connected solutions that enable drivers to pay for their fuel directly through the vehicle head unit.
As part of the single API, which powers the ‘pay-at-the-pump’ application of Parkopedia’s payment platform, ThinxNet uses cloud-based technology to ensure payments at the fuel pump can be completed from inside the vehicle.

The system negates the need to step away from the vehicle or enter a kiosk to pay.
ThinxNet’s solution is currently available at more than 1,400 fuelling stations in Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands, with more to follow in Luxembourg, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and the rest of Europe.
Parkopedia’s new multi-domain payment platform is an extension of the company’s existing parking payment solution, which is currently in use by various global automakers.
The latest platform will now also include payments for fuelling, as well as other vehicle-centric services, such as EV charging and tolls via a single sign-on solution, removing the need for drivers to maintain multiple apps and accounts for their on-the-road payment needs.

By GlobalDataParkopedia’s integrated solution manages the full aggregation and payment flow between providers into a single payment platform, working with wider vehicle sensors to enable a digital fuelling experience for the driver.
Once a driver is notified fuel is low, they will be presented with live fuel pricing for comparison and guided to their preferred station. Once on-site, the platform activates the pump, initiates the transaction and manages the payment from the vehicle. Discounts and loyalty offers can be applied automatically, as well as the mailing of electronic receipts.
“We are delighted to partner with ThinxNet and integrate essential pay-at-the-pump fuelling services for drivers into our recently announced payment platform,” said Parkopedia COO, Hans Puvogel.
“Our relationships with key connected vehicle service providers are a vital aspect of why we are already the market leader for in-vehicle parking payments. As we expand across further vehicle-centric payment services, we need partners that are aligned with us in delivering connected services that enhance the journey for drivers.”
